Miserable cunt started backfiring a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of preignition going on. I'm hoping it's a problem worth fixing. I miss my truck.

The "Initial D" meme isn't funny anymore

might as well wait for the refresh that is coming soon. Better door storage / interior.

Get a Chevrolet Suburban with 40k in performance upgrades.

Is get a car that the manufacturer can't remotely disable.

Partial overlap crash. They didn't test for that in 1998. It's the price you pay for a lighter car that's simpler to work on.

IIRC auto manufactures did not appreciate the IIHS doing independent crash testing back then.

Pretty much any car after the 90s to early 2000s is going to have poor visibility and be a pain in the ass and more expensive to work on.
Because of side-impact airbags and rollover protection we'll never see cars again that are light, cheap, and efficient. Emissions are one thing. but I Honestly don't know how necessary all the additional airbags and extra shit is over say a stiffer frame with crumple zones.

As a reminder airbags only exist as an involuntary safety feature because people weren't wearing their seat belts and either cracking their skull on the windshield/dash or being ejected from the car. I think Ariel Atom style "kit" cars will get more popular as safety and emissions regs push base model price points sky high while everyone is poor. As a result of thick A-pillars that hold airbags making visibility non-existent all 2018 US cars will be required to have a backup cam and a screen to go with it.

>reading reviews for Fiat 500
>massive number of complaints about the lack of a backup camera
People who need a backup camera for twelve foot long shoebox should have their license revoked immediately

Woman driver probably tried to rely on outdated GPS to take a shortcut across the Rockies or Death Valley in order to go to her friend's dog's birthday party, got stuck and died trying to reach civilization wearing ballet flats and XL leggings.

Mustang GT

The GT stands for Gran Turismo. Many years later a videogame was released in 1997 named after the famous Mustang GT to commemorate its 32 years of dominance.

>say if you could put the camaro and mustang engines inside the utes

You pretty much can... The LSA for HSV models and we even have the LS9 in the non-ute HSV W1. There'd be newer gen LS motors available if Holden weren't shutting commo production this year.

Same story for the coon ute; if it were still being actively developed and production was to be for the forseeable future, you'd see Mustang engines in there. We already had some of the earlier gen coyotes.

They won't though, because of the chicken tax and gas guzzling rules. I think it'd be cool if Holden could license the design to another GM division, like Chevrolet, for local production. That's as far as I'm concerned, the only way America would get brand new off the showroom floor utes.
